The Château de Puy-Launay is a ruined castle in the commune of Linac in the Lot département of France.A castle has existed on the site since the 14th centuries. It underwent major building works in the 15th century. The building is a three-storey latticed quadrangular structure. The north east corner forms a nook partly occupied by a square tower containing a spiral staircase. Two round towers, flanking the southern façade, were razed during the French Revolution. A round walk constructed of brick and wooden walls is still visible. In the basement are traces of an earlier keep. On the first floor, a large hall is decorated with paintings of floral and plant motifs imitating a tapestry, dating certainly from the 19th century. The so-called Francis I Room has a 17th-century ceiling.The castle is privately owned. It has been listed since 1989 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
